Description

Great work happens every day, and most of it goes unnoticed. Bonusly changes that by putting recognition in the hands of everyone, not just managers. Teammates send each other shoutouts with points attached, tied to company values and visible across a live feed. Those points turn into real rewards: a catalog of more than 1,200 options spanning gift cards, curated gifts, charitable donations, and cash out. Recipients choose what matters to them, which is why the program works across very different teams. Bizy, Bonusly's AI recognition sidekick, surfaces participation and engagement patterns for HR and managers, with reporting that exports cleanly. Purchasing-power-parity pricing keeps reward funding fair and predictable for distributed teams. Connects to Slack, Microsoft Teams, Google Workspace, and HRIS platforms including BambooHR, Namely, ADP, UKG Pro, and Workday. Available on web, iOS, and Android. Used by 3,400+ organizations. Free to get started.
